*The Company presents its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Please see Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 below for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, and Statements of Cash Flows are derived from the audited financial statements present in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Stefan Angeli, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "The strength of our competitive position in MENA, the execution capabilities of our employees, and the relationships we have with our customers all contributed to our record 2023 results. I am thankful to our NESR team and our customers for these outstanding operating fundamentals. During 2023, we also made measurable improvements in our balance sheet structure with reductions in days sales outstanding, inventory, and capital expenditures combined with the record EBITDA, allowing us to pay down debt significantly. Looking ahead, we continue to see tight service capacity in the markets we serve coupled with customers who are eager to maximize or expand production. For the first quarter of 2024, the Company's performance was again strong, generating $297 million of revenue during the quarter which was up 15% compared to the first quarter of 2023."

Sherif Foda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The global commodity outlook remains remarkably strong. As we predicted more than a year ago, the multi-year underinvestment in upstream energy, underpinned by increased capital discipline among producers and regulatory headwinds in certain markets, has led to a favorable supply-demand dynamic for hydrocarbons. With this backdrop, the MENA region has reasserted itself as a key swing production source, which has led to outsized MENA activity growth for over a year. In anticipation of this trend, NESR front-loaded expansion capital expenditures in our core businesses and invested in strategic technologies like the RoyaTM Drilling Platform & NESR Environmental & Decarbonization Applications portfolio, which are expected to lead our growth in the coming years. We are very excited about the future and our strong position in the region, and we thank our shareholders, customers, and employees for their trust, loyalty, and support."

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Results

The Company had net income for the year ended December 31, 2023, totaling $12.6 million, an improvement of $49.0 million compared to the prior year. The change is largely attributable to increased activity in our principal areas and businesses of operations, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2023, is $50.2 million and includes adjustments totaling $37.6 million (collectively, "Total Charges and Credits") mainly related to matters identified in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, relating to restatement of our previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the year-ended December 31, 2020. A complete list of the adjusting items and the associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1 below in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Net Income and Adjusted Net Income."

The Company reported $0.13 of diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the year ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted for the impact of Total Charges and Credits, Adjusted Diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure described in Table 1 below, for the year ended December 31, 2023, is $0.53.

Adjusted EBITDA Results

The Company produced Adjusted EBITDA of $262.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, improving 61.1% as compared to 2022. Year ended 2023 Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for certain Total Charges and Credits (those not related to interest, taxes, and/or depreciation and amortization) of $37.6 million. The Company posted the following results for the periods presented.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents are $67.8 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $78.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 is $108.8 million, as compared to ($29.8) million in 2022 due to strength of improved operating results in 2023 coupled with additional capital expenditure discipline.

Total debt as of December 31, 2023, is $452.2 million with $120.6 million classified as short-term, as compared to $535.1 million and $143.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022. Net Debt (a non-GAAP measure), which is the sum of our recorded Current installments of long-term debt, Short-term borrowings, and Long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents, totaled $384.4 million as of December 31, 2023, as compared to $456.2 million as of December 31, 2022. Net Debt has decreased as compared to the prior period primarily due to $54.8 million of long-term debt repayments during 2023 plus payments on short-term borrowings during the year that were also in excess of incremental borrowing. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to Net Debt is provided in Table 4 below, entitled "Reconciliation to Net Debt."

NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
(In US$ thousands except per share amounts)

The Company uses and presents certain key non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Included in this release are discussions of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"), net income and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Diluted EPS," respectively), as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income and diluted EPS, respectively, in accordance with GAAP. The Company also discusses the non-GAAP balance sheet measure of the sum of our recorded current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents ("Net Debt") in this release and provides a reconciliation to the GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt to Net Debt. The Company also discusses Free Cash Flow reconciled to Operating Cash Flow.

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations as the Company's board of directors, management and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of changes in capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (transaction, integration, and startup costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Similarly, Net Debt is used by management as a liquidity measure used to illustrate the Company's debt level absent variability in cash and cash equivalents, and the Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial leverage. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, or diluted EPS, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Net Debt also should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Finally, Free Cash Flow is used by management as a liquidity measure to illustrate the Company's ability to produce cash that is available to be distributed in a discretionary manner, after excluding investments in capital assets. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to Net cash provided by (used in) operations or Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
